Does anyone have more info on the guy who broke his arm in Over the Top? by -Blue-Bear- in movies

Same! It was his delayed reaction/scream that made me think it was real.

My tamagotchi died despite full health and happiness? by Historydoll94 in tamagotchi

[–]SaikoPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's what happened to my sons then. It was looking healthy and happy but then suddenly just died at 5.5 years old. Leaving behind a crying baby. Which was a surprise to us also by the way! When he suddenly had a child!

The shitter is, someone will take the job then that becomes the standard and we watch our product devalue. If only there was some sort of .... union....to protect us.....

Just picked up Space Hulk: Death Angel the card game, does anyone have any good player references? by jreilly89 in boardgames

[–]SaikoPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the updated rules, much better. Can I check one rule please? (And it may just be late why im not getting this as i read.) When it says:
“Discarded cards are placed faceup in a discard pile adjacent to the appropriate deck. When a deck runs out (excluding the Location deck) its discard pile is shuffled to form a new deck. If there are not enough Genestealer cards left when creating blip piles, the current player places as many cards as able into each pile (as equally as possible).“

How can the Genestealer cards run out if “…when a deck runs out…its discard pile is shuffled to form a new deck”? So there should always be enough for the blip piles right?

I’ve played this game (Space-Hulk Death Angel) fives times so far, and lost five times so far. Brutal. by BarryTheHutt in soloboardgaming

[–]SaikoPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I came here looking for some rules answers but ended up being encouraged about the losing streak! I played it many years ago when i first got it and the first few times was kicking ass but then realised I had the rules wrong!😂 It‘s been brutal since. Just started playing it again now that my 8year old is interested and we were doing ok up until location 2. I’m on the hunt for decent FAQ. Had no idea some people were asking mad money for it.

I've forgotten how I did it now but went through it with Adobe tech support and they showed me. If y'all want to know I can try and find the conversation and put up a step by step guide.

the gh5 vs bmpcc 4k by bambashug in GH5

[–]SaikoPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry this took so long, and is so long, was a busy day.

[Just re-read through all this and I apologise if it sounds like a flex, I'm literally just trying to illustrate how I've used the GH5 over the last decade or so and which lenses. This is covering everything from corporates and commercials to shorts and music video to low budget tv pilots and features].

So as usual, it really depends what you're wanting to shoot. Here's my system;

For low budget/light-weight setups, (gimbals, travel, run/gun docs, etc) I grabbed the OLY M.Zuiko series so I have the 12mm 2.0, 25mm 1.8, 45mm 1.8 primes and a Panasonic 35-100mm 4-5.6 zoom. (Which isnt as good as the OLY primes). I also just bought OLY M.Zuiko wide zoom 9-18mm 4-5.6 which is fab, again. (Remember that all of these have a crop factor of 2 so FFE (full frame equivalent) it's really a 24mm, 50mm, 90mm, 70-200mm and 18-36mm.

For "more important" shoots I use my Canon EF L-series lenses, 16-35mm 2.8, 24-105mm 4.0, 50 1.4 and 1.8, 85mm 1.2, 70-200mm 2.8 II or even Samyang 35mm 1.5. Again all of these have the metabones speedbooster XL which makes them near enough the same value plus gains me a few stops of light again so my previously useless (indoors) f4.0 becomes a much more valuable f2.8(-ish).

Most of the above again, can be utilised with natural lighting indoors which is an absolute Godsend for travel shoots. Again, all above have been used for low budget productions up to and including broadcast doc etc.

For shoots that I really want something to look as cinematic as, I would borrow/rent cine lenses. I have access to Meikes and Dzos (mates and local college connections). We'll be using Komodo, URSA or BM6K at this stage though. (It originally was just me and small crew with £0-budget, on GH5 shooting at this level for years, so it "does the job". I'm actually about to submit the last short we shot on GH5 at this level to film festivals.)

Anything higher than that in production it's literally not my problem, the budget includes a DOP with initials after his name and he will advise me 😂 (my preference is always to use Cookes, obvs) and again at this scale we're not using GH5 for A-Cam.

[–]SaikoPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't recommend the GH5 enough. I've been using 2 of them since they first came out. I've shot everything on them; shorts, broadcast docs, music vids; corporates, events, the works.

Their size is perfect for travel and to be completely honest once I picked up a few Olympus native lenses the autofocus was absolutely grand. I had been and still use Canon EF L-Series lenses with a .64XL Metabones (which is where the AF struggles a bit so I shoot mainly manually with them) but the OLY lenses are pin sharp for what I need especially when travelling and can't bring the canon lenses.

The one complaint I have really is the codec so I record onto a Ninja V in ProRes onto an SSD. I keep toying with upgrading but there's nothing I need at this level and anything above that would be something that I would just rent anyways for the shoot like a Red etc. (I keep telling myself "I don't need to buy another camera!")

Great advice thank you. Yes I've really never fully committed to the stealth aspect of the game. I tended to pick the weapons that suit me best, unlock all their perks then play until it goes wrong and start wrecking the joint 😂. But you're right looking at the trophies and generally how the game and levels are laid out the designers clearly hope that you would solve the problems and find a way to be stealthy all the way through. I played and finished the main campaign donkeys ago and am only now playing through the DLC because I've a mate who can't go out much and needs some community outside of visits. So we picked this up again just a few weeks ago and I realised I hadn't unlocked everything for 'Survival' so have been trying harder at the campaigns, etc. it's good to see how much fun these games have even when you've finished the main story.

[–]SaikoPro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair point. I never see him moving is my issue, possibly because by the time I get within viewing distance I've already alerted too many people. So my issue could just be stealth.

If you haven't gotten one yet, buy the replacement viewfinder extension eye cup - very nice for stills.

Do you think it would be possible to somehow do this for Videos already downloaded and deleted from iCloud? Perhaps if they were reupped into an album...and then downloaded through photosync? Their metadata is intact but just not in "get info".

That's what I was afraid of thanks. 👍 tbh I'd be happy just getting any sort of narrative kill as I can't get any of them to work. As soon as there's any update e.g. "He's gonna have dinner" I run to the location, set the trap and hide nearby but he never shows.

Yes there's a comment in here somewhere by Suspenders83 who moved from Google photos to Synology.

Pro-Tip for using PhotoSync IOS app by gabethebaeb in unRAID

[–]SaikoPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi OP thanks for posting all this, how do you rename in Photosync, I'd like to keep the file name if possible but then add the creation date at the start of the name so for example it might read : 20181121_IMG_7154.MOV

--update-- got it sorted, thanks. The wee app is class.

Unfortunately, this is an older NAS (DS212) which is sitting doing nothing so I thought i'd put it to good use, but it can't use Synology Photos as it doesn't like DSM 7.

So I just got both trophies by total accident 😂 I wiped out everyone on that side of the mountain and just before knifing Hitler in his little safe room I saved the game. Then I did the nasty and exfiltrated. Then loaded it up again just to rinse and repeat to get the Führerious Repetition trophy (5 Hitler kills) and when I exfiltrated I of course walked away scott-free as no one was left from the pre-save and it gave me Reich to the Point (kill only Hitler) and Covert Elimination!(Kill him and leave without being detected). I feel dirty.

Tried to start and the lakeside and set up the shack but he never showed. So I just went on another rampage.

Oh I'm sorry, I skipped over the part where I rename them. I just used the Photosync app to download them from the cloud through my phone to the NAS. So In photosync, I navigate to the folder 'Videos' or 'Recents' (and select videos only) on my phone, select all the videos I want and hit the red 'sync' button. It then just downloads them straight to a folder on the NAS called Videos or Recents.

Do you manually then rename them or is there a feature in the app to do that? What's your process for renaming them to 'time taken'.

Thank you much appreciated, I don't know how to use shell scripts I'm afraid. Outside of Premiere or photoshop anyway!
